Brisk, Healthy Trade in Progress, and a
Firm Tone Prices.


INDIANAPOLIS, April IL.
In all departments of trade, to-day, there was
a good deal of activity. and on most staple ar
ticles firm tone to prices The Summertime
weather seems to be helping all branches of bust
While there is no boom in any depart
ment of trade, there is a healthy active move
ment. The dry goods men up to their ears
in business, and working we'll into the night to
fill orders. The same is true of the hardware
men, In dry goods, prices are firm; an advance
in some lines of goods which are in great demand
is looked for in the near future as stocks at the
mills have been sold closely. Grocers are having
a steady, satisfactory trade. with some fear that
prices are being pushed higher certain staple
articles than the situation will lustify-coffees,
for instance We do not quote salt to DAY, as the
market is still disturbed over rate matters and
the salt manufacturers refuse name prices on
carload lots. IN fact. on any quantity. The prod
uce men quite busy. Receipts of eggs and
poultry on the increase and prices both on
the down grade. Butter is still wanted at our
quotations. Game is out of the market. Apples
as well as any fruit coming in, are so high to
prevent ready sale, aud they decay so rapidly
that grocers cannot handle them without loss
The hide market is fairly active, but prices are
steady. all efforts thus far bring about an i'm
provement having slgnaliy failed. A boom
seems to be again coming over the provision
markets There is good demand for the hog
products usually sold at this season, and while
prices are unchanged to-day, an advance is
probable in day or two. brisk trade is in
progress, especially in jobbing way.

Sniphur In the Air.

The quantity Of burnt sulphur thai
escapes into the air is very great. Seven
and a half millions of tons Of coal are
annually consumed in London. Now.
the average amount Of sulphur in Eng
lish coal is ! IL per cent. That would
give 80. $50 tons of sulphur burned every
year in London fires. II we consider
that on an average twice the quantity Of
coal is consumed on a winter day that is
consumed on summer day, no less than
3i1 tons of sulphur r. thrown into the
atmosphere every winter day in London.
This is an alarming quantity, quite sufii-
cient to account for the density of the
fogs in that city. But would it lie adj
viSable TO diminish the escape Of sulphur
from the chimneys: Is il o better 10
bear the ill" Of the fogs than 'tly 10
others which the absence Of sulphur
might encourage; Burned sulphur is
not an unmitigated evil. During the
fogs the air is still and stagnant; there is
no current to clear away the deadly
germs that are being vomited into the
air from the pestilcntial hotbeds of the
lowest slums. These death laden germs
might he more fatal in the propagation
If the disease If the ~deodurizing and
antiseptic properties Of the sulphur were
not busy at work. -Boston Herald.
